The PSD also emphasized the need to never leave children unattended in vehicles, particularly while shopping. It also warned against leaving flammable materials like sanitizers, perfumes, and other sources of ignition inside cars, as they pose a risk when temperatures rise. The directorate highlighted the importance of wearing protective head coverings, taking adequate rest periods, especially for those whose work requires long hours in direct sunlight, and supervising children to prevent them from playing in open areas during peak heat. The PSD urged citizens to avoid causes of fire, such as throwing cigarette butts near dry grass or trees and failing to fully extinguish fires after picnics. It also advised against overloading electrical outlets when operating air conditioners and fans to prevent short circuits or fires.
